Neighbors Lending Money And Support BecauseYour Neighbors Care

Our business loan initiative is called the “Barn Raising Loan” because our program is about neighbors helping neighbors. Our loan program

is focused on the Riverwest Community. RIC’s Barn Raising program is an effort by Riverwest neighbors and supporters that have invested their own funds to lend to businesses that want to grow in the Riverwest neighborhood.

As founding members of RIC, we have seen the incredible effort and dedication of the membership to make the Riverwest neighborhood a better place to live and work. As a loan recipient from WWBIC, we received all the resources and guidance which has encouraged our successes. Simply put, the support now available to new businesses working with RIC & WWBIC will raise the likelihood for their success. We are so pleased these two organizations are working together!
